You don't know me

but I know you

I recognize you from my last life

When I was a fool

You are everything I wanted to be

And you know everything I used to believe



You don't walk a straight line

Watch out for the land mines

Take me from my manger

God I love the danger in your eyes

Could you blow out the light

So...



I see stars

on the ceiling

and butterfly wings on the walls

And I'll hear Whitman

crying through the cracks of the floor

Is that the ghost of me?



Yeah you own your own circus

I wanna ride your merry-g0-round and round

until I can remember my mission

You can be my father now

Take my confession



I don't walk a straight line

Lost you on a land mine

I fell for a stranger

But oh I loved the danger in his eyes

when he started to cry

And...



We saw stars

on the ceiling

and butterfly wings on the walls

And we heard Whitman

crying through the cracks of the floor

Is that the ghost of us dancing down the hall?



You will see their hands raised

Tell me who is due praise

No one else can save you

But God I love the questions in your eyes

I wanna go there tonight



We'll see stars

on the ceiling

and butterfly wings on the walls

And we'll hear Whitman

crying through the cracks of the floor

Is that the ghost of me?

Is that the ghost of me?

Is that the ghost of me?



I see stars

on the ceiling
